AUBURN -- All 21 of Auburn's varsity sports teams met the NCAA's standards for the Academic Progress Rate (APR) for the four-year period ending 2012-13, the NCAA released on Wednesday.

"I am very proud of our student-athletes and their academic achievements," Dr. Gary Waters, senior associate athletics director for student services, said in a statement. "It is also important to emphasize the important role of the large support group for our student-athletes—parents and family members, head coaches and coaching staff members, and the staff of Student-Athlete Support Services, including academic counselors, learning specialists, academic mentors, and tutors."

Auburn football's four-year APR score was 965, an improvement from 950, with a single-year APR of 978 in 2012-13. However Auburn still ranks just ninth in the SEC, trailing conference leaders South Carolina and Missouri (980).

The multi-year APR of 940 for Auburn men's basketball remained steady, though the single-year score saw a big jump from the disastrous 896 in 2011-12 to a 936 in 2012-13, still barely meeting the NCAA's standard (930) for postseason play. Auburn's score ranks 12th in the SEC, ahead of only Arkansas (937) and Texas A&M (912), while training Florida (1,000) by a significant margin.
